Title: Old Testament, The
Book: Jeremiah
Author: Various
Date: 1885
Chapter 1
The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that were in
Anathoth in the land of Benjamin: to whom the word of Jehovah came in the days
of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, unto
the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah,
unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.
Now the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the
belly I knew thee, and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified
thee; I have appointed thee a prophet unto the nations. Then said I, Ah, Lord
Jehovah! behold, I know not how to speak; for I am a child. But Jehovah said
unto me, Say not, I am a child; for ^1 to whomsoever I shall send thee thou
shalt go, and whatsoever I shall command thee thou shalt speak. Be not afraid
because of them; for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith Jehovah. Then
Jehovah put forth his hand, and touched my mouth; and Jehovah said unto me,
Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth: see, I have this day set thee over
the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down and to
destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.
[Footnote 1: Or, on whatsoever errand]
Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest
thou? And I said, I see a rod of ^2 an almond-tree. Then said Jehovah unto
me, Thou hast well seen: for I ^3 watch over my word to perform it.
[Footnote 2: Heb. shaked.]
[Footnote 3: Heb. shoked.]
And the word of Jehovah came unto me the second time, saying, What seest
thou? And I said, I see a boiling caldron; and the face thereof is from the
north. Then Jehovah said unto me, Out of the north evil ^4 shall break forth
upon all the inhabitants of the land. For, lo, I will call all the families
of the kingdoms of the north, saith Jehovah; and they shall come, and they
shall set every one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and
against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of
Judah. And I will ^5 utter my judgments against them touching all their
wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other
gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands. Thou therefore gird up thy
loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed
at them, lest I dismay thee before them. For, behold, I have made thee this
day a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and brazen walls, against the whole
land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the
priests thereof, and against the people of the land. And they shall fight
against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee,
saith Jehovah, to deliver thee.
[Footnote 4: Heb. shall be opened.]
[Footnote 5: Or, speak with them of my judgments]
